I try to install Make Me Admin v2.3 on a Windows 10 computer (version 1809) using the packaged MSI that was downloaded on Github/Releases. the installer copies all the files and fails to start the service. A dialog appears telling that the service could not be started, then, when hitting retry, it fails again. Cancelling the installation removes the binaries. The UI could start during installation, but gets removed after cancellation.
I activated MSI installer logging, this is the associated logfile:

PS: While looking up the error code 1902, I found this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20061057/error-1920-service-failed-to-start-verify-that-you-have-sufficient-privileges-t
I will try some suggestions in the meantime. Thank you in advance for your help.
